Building a ESP32-CAM Helmet Detection System Using and CircuitDigest Cloud
The article discusses the creation of a helmet detection system using an ESP32-CAM and CircuitDigest Cloud. This project simplifies traffic monitoring by utilizing cloud AI services for helmet detection, eliminating the need for heavy local AI models. It is particularly suitable for engineering students looking to experiment with computer vision in a manageable setup.
- ▪The ESP32-CAM captures images and uploads them to a cloud AI service for helmet detection.
- ▪The system operates without the need for local AI model deployment, making it simpler and more cost-effective.
- ▪Upon detecting riders, the system sends notifications via WhatsApp, enhancing user engagement.
